Availability
Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, both personally and professionally. As a veterinary professional, I prioritize the health and well-being of animals in my care, ensuring they receive the appropriate medical attention, nutrition, and enrichment. On a personal level, my three cats require daily attention, including feeding, grooming, and playtime, to maintain their happiness and health. When it comes to my pet sitting services, I schedule visits and care routines based on each pet’s needs, ensuring they receive individualized attention while their owners are away. This may include walks, feeding, administering medication, and providing companionship. Managing both my professional and pet sitting duties requires careful planning and time management, ensuring that every pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

About Stephanie K M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For my pet sitting services, I adapt my care approach to meet the specific needs of each client and their pets. I offer in-home care, where I ensure the pet’s environment is familiar and comforting. This may include administering medications, providing meals, taking pets on walks, or engaging them in stimulating activities. I also ensure that pets feel emotionally supported through companionship and interaction, keeping their routines as consistent as possible while their owners are away. Communication with clients is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep them informed about their pet’s well-being. Whether in my home or my client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, caring, and stress-free environment for the animals under my care.

A typical day
When caring for pets, I prioritize fun activities that cater to their individual personalities, energy levels, and preferences. For active dogs, I enjoy long walks, runs, or trips to the park, providing opportunities for exercise and socialization. I also love organizing interactive play sessions with toys like fetch balls or tug ropes to engage them mentally and physically. For cats, I focus on enriching their environment with activities that simulate hunting and play, such as using laser pointers, feather wands, or puzzle feeders. I also enjoy quiet time with them, offering cozy spots to relax while providing attention or gentle petting, depending on their comfort level. Additionally, I tailor my activities to any special needs or preferences each pet might have. For example, older or more laid-back pets may enjoy snuggle time and leisurely walks, while more energetic pets benefit from interactive toys and outdoor adventures. Regardless of the pet, I aim to keep them entertained, active, and happy during my care.

Experienced Veterinary Professional
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Stephanie. With a diverse background in animal care, I have experience working with a wide range of species, from small animals to large and exotic creatures. Growing up surrounded by both large and small dogs, I developed a deep passion for animal welfare, which led me to shadow veterinarians and volunteer at my local animal shelter. I hold a degree in Animal Sciences from Purdue University and am currently pursuing a Veterinary Nursing degree from the same institution. In addition to my full-time role as a veterinary professional, I also offer pet sitting services. At home, I share my life with three cats and a rescued Labrador. Please feel free to reach out for further information or inquiries. I’d be happy to connect!

Reviews
Stephanie took care of my pup for the weekend on short notice when our go-to sitter was booked. She took great care of our pup and he was happy and healthy when we got back home.
Cant sing high enough praises about Stephanie. She was extremely prompt in responses, informative, sent photos of our dog, and was so very kind. Left our home spotless-took excellent care of our dog. Yes, will definitely rebook with her-delightful person whose love for animals shines through!
Stephanie was great! Our creatures were well loved on and taken care of!
Stephanie was wonderful! Our cats loved her, and she took really good care of them while we were gone. She also left our house tidy and neat, we will definitely ask her to come back next time!!
